My breast implants were put in by another doctor years prior and I just didn't like them anymore - they were too large for my frame, one bottomed out, and exercising and finding cute clothes became difficult. After extensive research I decided to see Dr. Stark for a consultation. He immediately made me feel better by listening to my concerns, offering various surgical options, and setting realistic expectations. Excellent bedside manner too - on surgery day, he came to see me before going into the OR and then called to check in later that night (my original surgeon did not do that). Recovery was a breeze and I could not be happier with the outcome! The entire process from scheduling to after care was pleasant. His staff is very friendly and caring. Dr. Stark is incredibly talented and offers natural, beautiful results. Highly recommend!

I'm definitely not new to Dr. Stark. He's done 3 separate prior procedures on me with 110% results. He's not only your down-to-earth plastic surgeon, but he will become your friend. He makes you feel comfortable and thoroughly explains himself and what he's going to be performing. His bedside manners are the best. He will be calling you days prior towards your surgery and after just to make sure you're feeling well. He always picks up his phone if you have an immediate question. He makes it very difficult to go to any other surgeon these days!

I chose Dr. Lee's practice because of favorable reviews. I'm an adopted Asian American woman (I will be 50 this year) and was having a difficult time connecting with any surgeon that a natural and less evasive approach was what I wanted. I also desired a local physician. Upon meeting Dr. Lee and his capable staff while sitting in his naturally lit treatment room, I was hopeful. Dr. Lee's recommendations (right upper eyelid surgery , both lower eyelids and a silhouette lift mid-face) for me has resulted in a much needed boost in my confidence in as little as 1 month and gaining as I continue to heal beautifully. I am very grateful to have Dr. Lee and his sweet support staff as a valuable resource. They have managed to help me make my transformation remarkably seamless.

I reached out to this office to schedule a consultation. I was asked to send pictures and to…read morespecify what I was seeking. I did so and mentioned what a previous oculoplastic surgeon recommended after surgery with him. I then received a very rude email stating that my eyes were shaped "extremely different" (duh, I know that, that's why I'm seeking help), and that the surgery wouldn't be helpful. No suggestions for an in person consultation. If I look so "extremely" uneven, wouldn't you at least want to try to help me? Photos are limited for evaluation. Also, I just mentioned what one doctor suggested years ago. Obviously I don't believe that what was mentioned then is still what I need. I just finished medical school and honestly, I'm still so peeved and hurt by this unprofessional encounter I felt the need to write. Having a congenital eye disorder results in a lot of insecurities, and having a sensitive bedside manner is really important when helping potential patients. I felt awful about myself after this encounter and stopped seeking help for some time...I just hope whoever wrote that email has learned to be more sensitive towards vulnerable patients. PS I lived 10 min from the office at the time I asked about a consultation.

Anyhow, I wasn't sure what to expect as I couldn't find any other reviews (which is odd considering how many people bought these things), but I went ahead and scheduled my appointment as my vouchers were about to expire. The desk staff were incredibly nice and accommodating in scheduling my appointment and even emailed me the paper work to fill out ahead of time. As for the procedure itself- yes, it hurts- but far less than, say, waxing or getting stung by a swarm of wasps. It's also fairly quick, and the aesthetician is blasting the area with super cold air the whole time to keep things a bit more comfortable. I was treated by Nicole, who was very nice, and explained everything thoroughly- and kept me talking throughout the procedure to keep my mind off of things. The office, while semi-difficult to find, is very clean and comfortable. All in all, I am happy so far and look forward to going back.

While I was in the waiting room, the front desk associate was openly telling others she's a 40-year-old woman "stuck in a teenage body," which felt unprofessional and off-putting for a adult woman to infantilize herself. When Nicole brought me back, she immediately said I wasn't a candidate for laser and instead needed under-eye filler. I made it clear I wasn't interested, but she continued to push the idea and even brought in a surgery coordinator. The coordinator then criticized my previous filler, saying it caused puffiness, and made a comment about cannula placement that felt unnecessary and confusing. Apparently the cannula needs to touch the lower eyelash. What didn't make sense to me was why I was told I wasn't a candidate for laser, yet was being strongly steered toward filler--especially when they themselves pointed out puffiness.... I drove over 2 hours to go to the "best of the best". Overall, the experience felt pushy and unprofessional. I wouldn't recommend.

I made the appointment by phone probably a month earlier, and I had my month post-op check-up yesterday and my results look fantastic. TLDR AT THE BOTTOM! Dr. Rumer's office is situated in beautiful and green Ardmore, PA. I drove from NJ - two hours each way to her office each time because I was dead set on my decision. I had done plenty of research, based on a "dream" that one day I would be able to afford to have my chest look like her before and after photos. Maybe four or five years later, I took a chance on that dream. I decided to take a risk on my gut to see if Dr. Rumer was compatible with my insurance - the worst thing they could say was no, right? Turns out that she was tier 2 with my insurance, which was Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey - surprising for a PA surgeon, yeah? But I sure wasn't complaining, they paid half of the surgery cost. Something that really spoke to me about Dr. Rumer is how involved in the transgender community she is. COUNTLESS people - both FTM and MTF - have their consultations/check-ups, etc done right here at this office. She also regularly presents at the Philly Trans Health Conference and does around 150 top surgeries a year, she's a member of WPATH, she was *****AN AEROSPACE ENGINEER FOR OVER A DECADE***** LIKE NO BIG DEAL OKAY so basically this lady is no joke. I wanted someone experienced, so she definitely had that box checked for me. Her office can hold your hand the whole way through if you need it (I know I did, as I was doing this on my own) - the packet you get as an e-mail attachment before your pre-op appointment will be your Holy Scripture that will get you through any trouble you're having. It breaks down everything you need to do at certain stages before your surgery and puts it super simply - your full medication restrictions, addresses and phone numbers of associated facilities, important dates, FAQs, step by step like a checklist. I took a marker and marked everything off one by one so I wouldn't miss anything. Upon entering the adorably PA building, you're greeted with a beautiful, clean, air conditioned, chic waiting room with marble, stainless steel, and black leather accents. Small and quaint with lots of gorgeous windows, a large plasma screen TV, and a rack of current and relevant magazines. Dawn will probably be there to greet you, and Dawn is an absolute sweetheart. She is your best friend and guide to the office - she will be speaking on the phone with you, e-mailing and keeping in contact with you and she knows a lot, so ask any questions you have, all you have to do is call. If she doesn't have the answer, she will find it for you. I ended up needing to return to the office a number of times for check-ins due to an issue I had while I was healing, so Dawn and the rest of the staff saw quite a lot of me. The amount of care and compassion that I received from not only Dr. Rumer, but her whole staff have been nothing short of absolutely amazing. 5/5 would recommend. Solving the issue that I had was not at all fun, but Dr. Rumer and her nurse's aides were very professional and assuring. I trust the aerospace engineer. Getting this surgery done can be scary, especially if you've never had a major surgery before - so it's really nice to know that I had access to such a fantastic and knowledgeable support system from the beginning all the way to the end of my journey. TLDR:: Experienced, caring, professional, clean office, amazing staff, involved in the community, insurance-taking, crazy cute Philly accent, aerospace engineer Dr. Rumer could not come any higher recommended by me. I would recommend this doctor's office to ANYONE who might be considering where to get a surgery done. 11/10.

I am writing to express my profound disappointment and anger regarding the results of the Facial…read moreFeminization Surgery (FFS) you performed on me, particularly the rhinoplasty, which left me with a deviated septum. My intention here is not to soften my words but to convey the depth of my dissatisfaction. Your FFS work on me, specifically the rhinoplasty, was nothing short of disastrous. Not only did it fail to achieve the desired aesthetic, but it also resulted in a deviated septum, which has caused significant discomfort and inconvenience. This additional physical issue only compounds the frustration I feel towards your lackluster work. I must candidly admit that I was, at one point, your biggest cheerleader. Despite the warnings and advice from friends and support groups cautioning me against choosing you for FFS, I foolishly chose to disregard their counsel. I based my decision on my previous experiences with your surgeries and held on to the hope that this time would be different. Regrettably, I was mistaken. My faith in your abilities proved to be misplaced, and I deeply regret not heeding the warnings of those who had my best interests at heart. Your work has had a profound negative impact on my life, and I believe it's important to acknowledge the consequences of these decisions. I urge you to reflect on the implications of your surgical practices on patients like myself who place their trust in you. It is crucial to heed the voices of caution and make the necessary improvements in your approach and technique. After living with a botched hairline lowering scar for 2 years I finally found a Dr that is competent and was able to fix Kathy's horrendous mistakes. This new Dr was able to fix and give me the results I was so desperately wanting. Lastly Jenn Palladino the surgical coordinator did a terrible job communicating with me whether it be by phone or email. At times it would take days sometime weeks for her to get back to me-unprofessional and added to the terrible experience. Do not go to this doctor for ANY procedures. You are warned. It's tempting to choose Rumer because she's in network but take my advice. DONT! FIND SOMEONE ELSE. Be patient....They will also reply to this and say they don't recognize me as a patient. Proof of the nasty attitude they have. Disregard the comment they will probably leave saying they don't recognize me as a patient. It's simply a pathetic attempt to deflect this brutally honest review. Below is her botched hairline lowering procedure and the other photo is from a different doctor who knew what they were doing.

I came in to see Rachel and let her know that it was well over a year since I've had an actual haircut. I also let her know that I wanted a curly perm that would give my hair more volume. My hair naturally is pin-straight and very fine, which means that it is not the easiest type of hair to perm. Rachel went above and beyond with her service. She cut my hair to perfection, exactly as I wanted. No more, no less. During the cut, she found a dread lock that I have been meaning to brush out. That dreadlock was in my hair for nearly 8 years, it was the last one I had left. While we were waiting for my perm to start, she volunteered to start brushing it out and Wei came over to assist. In under 10 minutes, they were able to completely brush out the dreadlock and trim it so that it was the same length as the rest of my hair! This also meant that I got a second shampooing!!! I was so ecstatic that they were able to brush it out that very same day because those hairs from the dreadlock were going to be permed too! Wei and Rachel double-teamed my perm when putting it in the curlers. What I loved about the service is that it was my first time using different sized curlers for my entire head which Wei suggested because it was suppose to give the perm more texture. She was completely RIGHT, I was so happy with the end result. Now that it's been nearly a week and I've washed out the perm. I have been receiving compliments on it every single day. What I loved the most about this salon is: - Rachel was waiting for my arrival. I usually have to sit and wait anywhere else, but for once my stylist was waiting on me! - CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. The entire salon was completely spotless! - Rachel and Wei took their time to perfect my hair to my exact liking. - My service, for once, did not feel rushed! They take their time here and really care about their customers. - My hair typically takes 2.5 - 3 hours, but because the girls were so entertaining, it felt like the service was finished in the blink of an eye!
